Mod Distinguishing

Reddit Help

Moderators have the ability to "distinguish" their posts and comments. The username of the mod on a distinguished post or comment will be highlighted in green with a small green mod shield icon next to the username on the comment or next to the post.

When distinguishing a comment, you will also be given the option to "sticky" the comment, placing it at the top of all of the comments on a post for maximum visibility.

Distinguishing a post or a comment lets the community know that you are speaking officially as a moderator representing the subreddit. It is common and helpful to make a mod-distinguished comment on a post on which you’ve taken a mod action (e.g., a locked post), but you may find the ability to speak officially helpful in many other situations.
